Tasting Notes
Aroma
Dark black and red berry fruits, graphite, new leather, smoke, spice, and the smell of the sea.
Palate
The 2021 is a very hedonistic wine seemingly fruit forward and rich but there are layers of complexity that reveal themselves as you journey through the bottle, layers of aroma and flavour and of structure; acidity, warmth, tannin and a paradoxical freshness that ebbs and flow throughout the tasting experience.
Vinification
As always, the vineyards are dry farmed, hand harvested and each parcel fermented and aged separately for an extended period, 30 days in vat and 2 years in barrel.
Cellaring Potential
A wine that will cellar incredibly well.
Vintage Notes
Vintage 2021 was exceptional with moderate crops enjoying long periods of dry weather with occasional rainfall to keep the vine canopy in good condition for a long ripening into late Autumn.
